Keegan was the Life of the Party. He was a 17 year old, three sport athlete, who loved God, his family, friends, and sports. Keegan also loved to Roller Skate. Keegan was the oldest of our three boys, and a Great Big Brother. He was a funny, handsome, mischievous young man, with the BEST Smile. Keegan loved life and lived it to the fullest every day. He was a Friend to everyone, and always wanted to help People. Keegan Always Wanted to be a HERO, and he got that chance on Friday, Feb. 7, 2020, when he saved four lives with five of his major organs, and countless others with his bone, tissue, and valve donations. Keegan suddenly became ill after being misdiagnosed twice with a sinus infection that mistakenly attacked his brain and turned into a rare form of bacterial meningitis. Keegan was pronounced brain dead on Wed., Feb. 5, 2020. Our world was forever changed. Four months to the day earlier, Keegan chose himself to check the box at our Local DMV when he received his license. He is forever Our Hero, and a Hero to so many others. Keegan, we Love and Miss you so much!
